At Keyes Honda, we have long awaited the unveiling of the new
2017 Honda Civic Si. Our wait finally ended when Honda showcased the Honda Civic
Si prototype at the Los Angeles Auto Show last week. Promised as the “fastest,
most powerful Si yet”, the 2017 Honda Civic Si is packed
with numerous advanced performance features.

Offered in coupe and sedan body styles, the Honda Civic Si will
be equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged, direct-injected dual variable cam
timing engine. The engine will be backed exclusively by a short-shifting
six-speed manual transmission. The concept previewed at the Los Angeles Auto
Show features a full Honda Factory Performance (HFP) aero kit complete with
front and rear splitters and a rear spoiler. It also sported a center-mounted
dual exhaust with polygonal tips and turbine-like 19-inch HFP forged alloy
wheels wrapped in 235/35-size performance tires.

The interior featured sports seats with red stitching and
embroidered Honda Civic Si logos. Red stitching is also used on the door,
panels, steering wheel and shift boot, which is topped by an aluminum shift
knob. The gauge cluster features a red TFT display, and the lighting for the
audio system is also red. Finishing off the cabin are aluminum sport pedals and
Dry Metal Carbon trim around the instrument panel and across the dash.

Honda announced that the 2017 Honda Civic Si is very close to
production, so we hope that all of the features in the prototype will be
available in the final production models. While we now not so patiently wait
for the Honda Civic Si to hit our showroom, we’ll be checking out
the current Honda car models
in our extensive inventory, including the 2017 Honda Civic.
If you are interested in learning more about the Honda Civic Si or are
interested in purchasing a Honda vehicle, please stop by our Van Nuys, CA area dealership. We hope
to see you soon!

At Keyes Honda, we
love when one of the new Honda cars in
our inventory are recognized by the auto industry for their features or overall
package. After extensive testing in the Cars.com “Tree-Row SUV
Challenge,”the 2016 Honda Pilot has been named
the best midsize SUV of 2016 and the overall challenge winner. The challenge
test consisted of a weeks’worth of testing which included expert
evaluation on a set course to assess ride, handling, braking, noise and more, a
170-mile drive to determine real-world MPG, and driving by an in-market family.
The Honda Pilot was recognized for its interior space, versatility and utility
with comfortable seating for up to eight passengers and advanced technology
features including Apple CarPlay™and Android Auto™. “The Pilot leads the pack in smartly
designed family features and attention to details,”said Fred Meier of Cars.com, “including two levels of storage built
into the front doors, the big roll-top console bins, child-seat Latch anchors
even in the third row, a conversation mirror and height-adjustable armrests for
multiple drivers.”

We are proud to carry both the 2016 and 2017 Honda Pilot models.
The 2017 Honda Pilot
model has a few excellent updates but retains many of the impressive features
from the 2016 model. Available in five trim levels, the 2017 Honda Pilot checks
all of the boxes on most families’SUV want list. Built for comfort, the
Honda Pilot can comfortably seat as many as eight and has premium features
throughout. From the market to the mall and everywhere in between, you’ll

Driver honored the 2017 Honda CR-V and the 2017 Honda Ridgeline as the top
vehicles in the January 2017 10Best Truck and SUV Awards. Car and Driver

safety, technology, comfort, practicality and fuel efficiency.

The 2017 Honda CR-V
took home the top honor in the Compact SUV category. The Honda CR-V, America’s
best-selling SUV*, was recognized for its value, more powerful available turbo
engine that offers class-leading fuel efficiency, and its premium, roomy
interior. “The latest CR-V is the compact crossover SUV distilled to
its near perfect essence, blending engaging dynamics, master-class interior
practicality, and a pleasing demeanor into a deeply satisfying whole,”said Erik Johnson from Car and Driver.

The 2017 Honda Ridgeline
received the top honor in the mid-size pickup category. The Honda Ridgeline,
with its exclusive unit-body construction, earned its spot on the prestigious
list for a combination of traits, including best-in-class ride and handling and
fuel efficiency, available advanced torque vectoring all-wheel drive system,
and superior noise, vibration, and harshness. The 3.5-liter V6 engine delivers
280 horsepower** and 262 lb.-ft. of torque*** and the Honda Ridgeline boasts a

Here at Keyes Honda,
we consider ourselves Honda fanatics, and when we watched the recently released
documentary titled “Serial One”, our love for
Honda cars increased that much more. The documentary series focuses on the Honda
N600 and one man’s quest to restore the vehicle to its
original glory. Back in 1967, Honda became the top selling motorcycle maker in
the U.S. and the world, though the company also had its sights set on selling
cars in America. In 1969, Honda embarked on a new mission, to change the public’s
perception of cars. At the time, most automobiles had high emission and were
far from fuel-efficient. Looking to create something different, the company
developed the Honda N600, which was roughly 3 feet shorter than most vehicles
on the road in America at that time and weighed nearly half of what that year’s
best-selling car weighed. It was one of the first Honda test vehicles for
America—the company only developed 50 in fact. A mechanic from Los
Angeles, CA, Tim Mings, found a Honda N600 in a junk pile and learned the car
had been sitting there collecting dust for nearly 50 years. He decided to
purchase the car and restore it. Only months after purchasing the vehicle did
he discover that it was Vehicle Identification Number 1000001—number
one of the 50 vehicle test cars that Honda originally produced. Mings teamed up
with Honda to film the incredible year-and-a-half rebuild of this iconic car.
At Keyes Honda, we loved seeing
Mings fire up the rebuilt air-cooled, parallel-twin engine for the first time
in almost 50 years and think our readers would love the scene as well. You can
watch the entire “Serial One”documentary at www.serialone.com.

While we love the historic Honda models, we also love the latest
Honda cars. If you are interested in purchasing a new Honda, please
stop by your Honda dealership, serving the Los Angeles, CAarea. We look
forward to welcoming you soon and setting you up for a test drive.
